Where did he debut? In one of the new comics? I love the idea, design and the funny name. Bring this baby on!

Not sure why this character is getting bashed. The 'orgers seem to lack an understanding of why the average fan really likes new characters or concepts who are closely related to the main characters. The 'orgers bashed Baby Skeletor too yet he sold out in Early Access and goes for $150 on the 'bay now.

As much as I dislike the name, silly pun withstanding, I kinda like the 90's-esque design of Skeleteen. It feels like a continuation of the original animated series, if they had stayed in a barbarian world. There is just something about it. As much as GBAGOK was joking, I kinda want him with an Eternian bike.

This.

I would have loved to have gotten a Baby Skeletor - my daughter was dying for it too, so it would have gone to her eventually.

Skeleteen is just fun. His design is freaky and hilarious and interesting, and there's so much story you could make up around him.

I like to imagine that "Skeleteen" is what everyone else calls him in a rather derogatory way, and that he hates it. I don't know what will happen when he isn't a teenager anymore officially. They'll probably still call him Skeleteen because it will annoy him even more at that point.

I remember arguing about something similar once with fans of Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. They almost stopped being my friends.

Orko: It's like the Sorceress said: sometimes, the ones who seem the worst, need our help the most.
He-Man: You're learning.

I don't mind the idea of son of he-man , but it's handled with such little orignality , ...Dare Hansome young son of he-man ....skeleteen evil young son of Skeletor,
It's just the same story dynamic as the originals ,how about , Teela rescues a young son of Skeletor
From his crazy ass mom and dad, and raises him as her son ,
This introduces tension with father( cousin), also the future the prospect of a Gar king!!

Keldor the second could still look like a cool anti hero with Eternian hover bike, but be a good guy guy at hart

Hmmm ... this may be a figure Mattel should consider adding a cool extra accessory to appeal to those fans who might be sceptical of the Skeleteen concept, i.e. such as perhaps a Filmation Skeletor head or an acid-burn Keldor head.
